Kyra Sedgwick and Cliff “Method Man” Smith lead a hilarious ensemble cast in this new comedy, winner of the Audience Award at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival! When David and his fiancé Meg gather for his family's traditional Shabbat dinner on New York's Upper West Side, things spiral faster than you can say “hamotzi” when an accidental death (or…murder?) derails the evening entirely. With Meg's devoutly Catholic parents due any moment to meet David's very Jewish family, soon Shabbat becomes a comedy of biblical proportions.
